| | | | American Standard Jazz Bass V
I just ordered one today. Fingers crossed.
I like the 3 color Sunburst with TORTOISE SHELL. My dream Bass 
I guess its to new because I don't see many people with this Bass on TB. I see it mentioned here and there but no posts dedicated to it. So this is my post.
I play a Traben 5 string now but want the classic tone of a fender for the older songs and need the 5 for the new country music. This is my first big purchase new for a name brand Bass.
You could call it my mid life crises. I got my Traben off of CL.
I thought about the MIM but the wife talked me out of it, go figure. Any one out there have the newer American Standard Jazz 5 string?

| | | I did the series mod to my jazz to see the difference. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...c=jass_bass_sp
At first I got the ground wire and black neck pickup wire mixed up then it worked fine. Its darker and louder.
I haven't played out or practiced with it yet, but I dont have to use it.
I used this. 
250K LINEAR SOLID SHAFT PUSH/PULL POT
This is what I use now.

| | | | Mazel Tov!!!!!! Glad you went USA.... no comparison to the MIM. This is a Pro bass indeed, and her looks are most classic. Congrats!!!

Sunburst/tort is my favorite on a Jazz V, as well. I have the cheaper MIM version, but I love just looking at (as well as playing) it.
I have a couple Fender Pro 410s, too.

I've finally mastered the bass, does anyone know what those other 3 strings are for?

Lots of guys own this bass but the Candy Cola/Maple version has been more prevalent I think. Can't go wrong with yours, it's a great playing sounding bass. |

If that picture is an accurate representation of the edge of that fretboard, I'd return it.
